Stay on target

As we learned last year, drones can wreak havoc on busy airports. But a new horror movie is imagining drones wreaking havoc on a whole new — and murderous — level.

The Drone, scheduled for release this year, is a horror movie about a DJI Phantom 2 quadcopter drone that has been possessed by a serial killer and sets out to terrorize newlyweds Rachel (Alexandra Essoe) and Chris (John Brotherton).

The trailer starts out with vignettes about how technology has enriched our lives, through advancements in aviation, space exploration, and health. But what happens when a drone get a mind (and a deranged one at that) of its own? Horror, of course. The trailer even features a shower scene (a la Psycho).

Directed by Jordan Rubin, The Dronewill have its world premiere at the Slamdance Festival in Park City, Utah, on Jan. 28. It’s still unclear if the movie will hit movie theaters or streaming services.
